* 4 Thefe two following Plants are by Clujius and Bauhine referred to this Tribe ■ wherefore 
I thinke it fitting to place them here. The former of them froma reddifh,and as it were fcaly 
root growing lefle by little and little, and diuided into fibres, fends forth many leaues , narrow, 
hoary, anhandfull long, and hauingtbree nerues or ribbes running a'or.gft each of them :amongft 
thefe come forth diuers foot-ftalkes, couercd with a foft reddifh downe, and being fomc two or 
three inches long, hailing heads fomewhatthicke and reddifh : the floures arc whitifh, with ablac- 
kifh middle, which makes it feemeas ifit were perforated or holed. Now when the plant growes 
old,andvvithcts,theftalkes becomming more tliickear.d ftiffe, bend downe their heads towards 
the roor, fo that in fome fort they refemble the foot of a L) on. 
5 This Plant which is figured in the vpper placeffor I take the lower tobe an exafler figure 
ofthelaftdefcribed) hath leaues like to tlx fmall fea Plantaine, but tt rderer, and Handing vp- 
riaht ■ and amongft thefe on little foot-flalkes grow heads like thole of Pfyllium, but prettier , and 
ofawhitifh red colour. f
